Dos Santos: Anti-Beat Orquesta rocks the sounds of popular pan-Latin American dance genres—from cumbia to salsa. Their gritty, grassroots approach captures the “golden age” of streamlined tight-knit ensembles that shook sweatbox dance floors with raw and fierce energy throughout Latin America in the 1970s and 80s—honest dance music with no frills and no fear, anchored by piercing guitars, garage organs, and spirited percussion.

Dos Santos Anti-Beat Orquesta will be performing at 3PM on Saturday June 25 under the Baldacchino Tent at Old City Farm & Guild, 925 Rhode Island Ave NW. Curated by Fringe Chief Music Curator Jim Thomson.
